computer class

so some of the highlights of each week are the computer classes i get to teach to the secondary kids. we officialy got the class kicked off in march of this year and for the most part it has been a success. we havent moved all that fast in regards to covering a bunch of different programs but it has been thorough, kind of.
that last thought brings me to today. so there is two classes of computers on thursdays, one for the kids who have mornings free and the other for the kids who have afternoons free. generally speaking i have an incredibile sense of accomplisment every thursday morning when i see the kids working away on their computer home work, the most i usually have to do is remind them to not open messenger (they always are looking for former SKIP english teachers to talk with) and that they can listen to music after they have finished there work.
so the afternoon class brings about a host of other feelings, mixed feelings actually. for instance, today we were finishing up a test - generally speaking a test is something you do by yourself to TeSt your own knowledge, hence the word TeSt. i think that some of our students have an intense commitment to one anthers well being and good grades though because at some point i ceased to exist in the classroom and one of our little darlings got up and started giving pointers to two of the other kids - and all free of charge. so the mixed feeling came up in a few diferent ways.
first, how in the world did i do such a bad job of teaching that these two kids cant complete this part of the test - i am awful at this teaching gig.
second - wow, that kid is instructing two others at the same time and is doing a dang fine job at it (even though technically it was cheating) - she must have had an amazing teacher.

to satisfy the curiosity of you former Skippers, the ever so helpful student would be the freckled one that asks all the questions.
